Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IrelandThe pool is very shallow, we didnt use but a nice option to have and nice seats outside.
Netflix on the TV in the private room was such a treat. The bed was huge and so comfy. Loads of space in the room and it was very clean, option to have the room cleaned daily. Perfect location to explore chiang rai. Very happy with our choice. The staff were so lovely. Breakfast was good. We used the small gym which was a good addition.

SloveniaWish we could have stayed here longer. It was outstanding experience! It is on the level of hotel. We had one room with very comfortable king bed. The room was spotless, we received complementary food, tooth brush and other essentials every day. You can have coffee etc. in the kitchen, too. It included self-service breakfast (eggs, toasts, sausages, jam, coffee etc). There is a gym, common space area with board games, billiard. You can rent a bike vis Mercy hotel (B-rider which is reliable and rhe best rental company). The location is excellent and quit. Actually, the whole place is quit and they keep it quiet after 10 pm. Last but not least, the staff was genuinely so kind and helpful. If we ever visit it again, we will stay here. Thank you so much for making our time in Chiang Mai so great.

SloveniaAll great!
This hostel's location is very convenient for sightseeing, restaurants, cafes, market & nightlife, but is also in a peaceful alley so there isn't any noise. The staff is really nice and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious and had all that we needed. The guests can also use the pool, the pool table, the kitchen, which also has different tea and coffee options and there is a smoking area in front of the building. There's also lots of space for hanging out or just working. We had a really pleasant stay and wish to come back for a longer one!

ColombiaWhat I didn't like is the fact that at the moment of booking through the website you are quoted one price and at the moment of arrival if you try to pay with card you get charged 5% more. At least from my perspective that's not the way to handle business.
Everything was super clean, very comfortable and the staff was fantastic.

United StatesThe A/C made a terrible noise when it was on, had to sleep with earplugs. But everyone in a dorm should be traveling with earplugs anyway so it wasn't extra trouble for me.
Staff was friendly and helpful and they had a full catalog explaining the different ways of arranging the Laos slow boat, as this is a common starting point. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and separated by gender, and you had to use your key to get in and out. The atmosphere makes it easy to make friends as the kitchen area (where there are SNACKS free for your enjoyment!) and couches/game table are in the center, and rooms surround it. A nice little pool to cool off and there are laundry facilities. In a quiet area close to transport, the Clocktower, restaurants, etc.

United KingdomLocation is OK and off one of the main streets about a 10 min walk to the night bazaar and food market which is nice and has a good atmosphere. Nothing to do with the Hotel but Chiang Rai town was somewhat disappointing and a little bit limited as small place and a bit seedy in parts with some street (not bars) prostitution so walking the dark alleys be weary if out late in the evening.
Liked everything about this place. Friendly young staff. Speak superb English some of the best I've heard native Thais speak. The room size was excellent very well equipped room, like a Bangkok Hotel style business hotel. Great shower double head. Big double bed. Kettle safe. Really nice. Older building so a few movement cracks hear and there in walls. But the weather can be quite extreme so no wonder a little weathering. The price point for what u get here is exception. Small swimming pool and a fitness room basic but ok. A pool 🎱 table and lounging area. Laundry machines and drying area. Fully knowledge staff on trips and ideas. This is a good hotel and hostel. I would stay there for sure if in chiang rai for a short trip.

United KingdomIt had a really sociable atmosphere but nothing too crazy. We were in a private double room, but there seemed to be plenty of dorms from which we heard no excessive noise. Perfect location- only a short walk from the night bizarre, pubs and restaurants. Staff were really helpful and sorted out our slow boat tickets to Laos which we had no issues during the trip. Nice courtyard to sit in the sun and even a little gym which was a nice touch.
